On October 4, 2021 the Board of Commissioners approved the purchase of 5 Transit Vehicles. This purchase was canceled by the vendor due to supply chain issues. The State has opened up a new contract with Creative Bus Sales and Rowan Transit can purchase 5 buses from the contract not to exceed $355,000.
Rowan County wishes to purchase these vehicles in accordance with G.S. 143-129(e)(9), that states the County is exempt from bidding requirements if the County purchases equipment from a State contract established by the Division of Purchase and Contract, if the contractor is willing to extend to the County the same or more favorable prices, terms and conditions as established in the state contract.
Attached is documentation from NCDOT.
Board of Commissioners to authorize the purchase of 5 transit vehicles from Creative Bus Sales for an amount not to exceed $355,000.
